Next, Shuai Shuai will tell you what to do about dystocia of cows.

1. Causes of dystocia

It is not the first time for many cows to give birth, and they may have given birth to several births before. coupled with the substandard feed provided by some breeders, or providing inferior feed to cattle, it is easy to cause their physique to deteriorate and immunity to decline, and if they often lack exercise or work too much, it will reduce the uterine flexibility of cattle, and the birth canal will become very narrow, resulting in dystocia because the fetus is too large. Some fetal malformations or fetal abnormalities can lead to dystocia.

2. Symptoms

As soon as you enter the delivery, there is an obvious delivery performance, but the delivery time is very long, the labor and contraction are weak, the fetus can not be separated from the vagina for a long time, and the vagina can see that the head and a body part have been exposed, but it is impossible to completely separate the vagina.

3. The contraction and hard work are weak.

Because of the weak contractility of the uterus during delivery, the fetus stays in the vagina and the cervical mucus softens. In the face of this situation, most measures are to pull the fetus out directly and slowly.

4. Narrow birth canal

This situation belongs to the first birth of more cows, generally for the strength of the cow, but the fetus's lips appear in the vaginal orifice, the vulva is pushed out, but once the blame stops, it will be retracted again. If you are afraid of this situation, it is best to inject lubricant into the vagina before labor, try to expand the vagina with your hands, and if you find that the vagina has a tumor or is too narrow, you can perform surgery to cut it open.

5. Incorrect fetal position

The fetal position does not belong to the abnormal posture of the fetus in the birth canal, such as inverted birth, horizontal and so on. This situation can be like injecting some warm paraffin oil into the birth canal, and then pulling the posture of the fetus in the birth canal by hand, pushing and correcting the posture. Generally, most of the dystocia caused by deformities are delivered by caesarean section.
